Costumes of Light - Tapa dura

The evolution of the "costumes of light," the elaborate costume worn by the bullfighters in Spain, is told in this luminous memoire. The book assembles the greatest stars of the Corrida--the Spanish bullfighting arena--resplendent in their elaborately embroidered suits, for a series of stunning portraits.

Peter Muller was born in Peru. He studied art and architecture at Zurich university before working as assistant to photographer Bert Stern and chief camera operator under director Eddie Vorkapich. After many years living in Spain, working on major advertising campaigns and for various magazines including Vogue, he decided to look more closely at the crafts and lifestyle of southern Spain. Oro Plata is the culmination of this research.
